Hey everyone, <br /> Like the topic says i'm an 18 year old and i am new to model railroading, anyways i helped my dad build a really big 0- gauge layout before when i was around 10-13 years old, he was working at that time. But now he's lost all interest in it. I am on a tight budget, I have no skills at wiring, and so on. The layout is made completely out of sheets of plywood with track laid down on it and under it is the wires for the layout, now i'm wondering how to hook-up inside building lights(buildings are very, very old), the crossing gates, and stuff like that. Also what could i do to make cheap realistic trees like the ones found in northeast Pennsylvania, and anyother cheap tricks-of-the trade that i could use on the layout... One problem that is really bugging me though is coming up with an idea on what to do to make realistic overhead lines that are suspended above the track for electric trains like the gg1 and stuff... Any ideas would be greatly appreciated at this time...
